How can a 14 year old make money for firearms?

Mowing grass gray market. Even with the families push mower you can make decent money. $15-$20 a small yard easily and if you hustle you can do a good job in 30 minutes. The smaller the more profitable if you are using a pusher. Hit the things a zero turn doesn't do well. Save up and buy a big walk behind off craigslist over the winter and get it working well by summer.
Buy an old truck and a plow blade and snow blower the following winter(you should be about 16 then.
If you can work on a bike you can work on lawn equipment.
Heck, just buying used small engine stuff off craigslist and repairing it can bring in decent money.
You'll have a decent income year round.
A supermarket is a great place to get "work experience" to put down on paper. Its also a pretty easy job with a lot of slow hours and air conditioning when you aren't getting carts. It is a terrible place to make money. Unless your game is buying discounted food stamps...

I just turned 14 2 months ago. I've got 2 and a half more years fore I can get the truck. That is one reason I'm trying to save up other than for firearms. My uncle is a mechanic and where he works they get new trucks every five years and sell the old ones in the auctions. He just got a 2008 cummins 1 ton dually for 3,500. Only thing wrong with it was a cracked transfer case.

I lived a few miles from any town, but I hitchhiked to various farms in the state and did anything asked of me during the summer. Many times, it was for relatives and/or friends of relatives and I'd be bed and fed for a week or two at a time while working.
Show up on doorstesa nd offer any service from dusting to picking cotton. Work is there if somebody needs it and you're willing, even in the country.

It's harvest season. You should be able to find someone needing a little extra labor. Get the word out for next spring to anyone bailing square bails; they always need some strong arms (your arms will be strong after a summer of tossing hay).

Snow removal for old folks is a winner.
No need for expensive and high maintenance equipment.
Just a shovel and pick the folks with short driveways.
In our entire neighborhood, there's only a few longer than a car length.
Line up the business before the snow falls.
Ditto for fall leave racking and disposal.
Again choose the old folks for potential customers.
They will be appreciative and usually tip well.
Just ask me.

With all due respect, do not get a job. Pick up a book. That's the best way to save for firearms.

Study hard, take summer classes, become the smartest kid in the class. Become a businessperson, a lawyer, a doctor, or just plain rich because you're smart and educated.

One day, you will have more money than you ever need. You will be the 1%, and you won't have to save for firearms. Work for the future.

This is from a poor kid who grew up in the bad parts of town.

He probably doesn't want to wait ten to fifteen years, though.

Oh, dear - while I appreciate the initiative , I think we have covered all the good advice. I think Machineguntony has the best long term advice for a young person.

So with regrets, closed as not really firearms.
